Wet again today, but the sun’ll come out tomorrow

If yesterday was the wash, today is the rinse — but a dry cycle is coming.

Environment Canada recorded 20.2 mm of rain yesterday in Brandon, just a couple of millimetres off the record amount of precipitation for a May 19, which was set a decade ago, in 2004, when the city say 22 mm.

More rain is expected today, although less than yesterday, with periods of drizzle this morning changing to a few showers this afternoon. Winds will pick up to about 20 km/h from the north later this morning. The afternon high today will be 10ºC.

Showers will trickle off this evening, with skies clearing after that and winds dying down. Overnight, the low will be 5ºC.
